The app is longer a beta, and it now includes the heavily anticipated SwiftKey's take on gesture typing, called Flow. Unlike other gesture-based keyboards in the market, the new SwiftKey, with Flow, allows the user to continuously swipe through entire sentences without ever lifting the finger, and the company calls it Flow Through Space.

"If you've been using any of the beta versions, then you already know what a fantastic feature it is, and now it's finally mature. Not only that, but Flow is part of SwiftKey 4, which is a free upgrade to existing SwiftKey users," Android Police writes.

Moreover, another notable change made to the new version of SwiftKey is that the app inherits the user's dictionary and some other settings from SwiftKey 3 by default. "If you have the Flow beta installed and would like for SK4 to pull its info from that instead, simply uninstall SK3. Likewise, if you'd rather it pull from v3, go ahead and uninstall the Flow beta just to be safe."

As far as pricing is concerned, SwiftKey 4 is a free upgrade for existing users. However, newcomers to the keyboard can get it for a promo price of just $2 (normally $5) for either smartphones or tablets.

Interested users also need to note that if they are not seeing the app on the Play Store right now, they have to remain a bit patient as the app, as expected, will be taking a bit of time to fully reach the store, but it will reach eventually.
